Žanis Lipke Memorial is located in Riga, Ķīpsala, 9 Mazais Balasta dambis. It was built next to his home, where he had arranged a shelter for rescued Jews from the ghetto during WWII. At the beginning of World War II Žanis Lipke hid the first Jewish refugees in temporary hiding places in different locations in Riga. During winter of 1941/1942 harboring people in hideouts in Riga and his own house became too dangerous, so he started building a shelter under the woodshed that stood next to his house. In January 1942 he dug out the first bunker all on his own, working at nights. At the very beginning this bunker housed 4 people. In 1942 it collapsed as soon as thaw set in. Right afterwards Žanis Lipke built a new one, much more thought-out. Bunker beneath the shed housed 8-12 Jews simultaneously from 1942 to summer of 1944. After the war Žanis Lipke used the bunker as a car pit. Over time, the pit caved in and the shed burned down in 1980s. Before the construction of the museum, creators of the Memorial built a new shed for Lipke family in the very place where the old shed with the secret bunker once stood. == The basic idea ==
Founders of the society “Žanis Lipke Memorial” – entrepreneur Māris Gailis, the Honorary director of International Film Forum “Arsenāls” Augusts Sukuts and the daughter-in-law of Žanis Lipke Ārija Lipke came to the idea of creating the memorial in 2000, after the revealing of a memorial plaque by Lipke’s house in Ķīpsala, 8 Mazais Balasta dambis. The aim that these people share with their collaborators is to bring to the attention of the local, as well as the international society the historical phenomenon of Žanis Lipke. In 2005 they founded a society to begin fundraising for building a memorial in Riga.〔http://www.arterritory.com/lv/dzivesstils/arhitektura/1327zana_lipkes_memorials/〕
